AMG TRACK PACEFunction of AMG TRACK PACE

With AMG TRACK PACE, the driving characteris‐tics on race tracks can be analyzed and opti‐mized. You can drive previously stored racetracks (e.g. Hockenheimring), or new tracks canbe recorded and stored. The driven lap times arestored for every track. These can be analyzedand compared to other lap times to achieve thebest possible race results. Additionally, accelera‐tion and braking procedures can be measuredand stored.Please note: use AMG TRACK PACE only onclosed off routes outside the public traffic area.Adapt your driving style to your personal per‐formance and environmental conditions. As thedriver, you are solely responsible for driving yourvehicle. Park your vehicle safely before operatingthe application.

# Position socket2 on hub cap1.# Position wheel wrench3 on socket2.

# Using wheel wrench3, turn hub cap1counter-clockwise and remove it.

Installing# Before installing, check hub cap1 and the

wheel area for dirt, and clean if necessary.# Position hub cap1 and turn until it is in the

right position.# Position socket2 on hub cap1.# Position lug wrench3 on socket2 and

tighten hub cap1.Specified tightening torque: 18 lb-ft(25 Nm).

Track tiresTrack tires are sports tires, which can be distin‐guished by their special tire tread and tire com‐pound. These characteristics combine to providesignificantly higher levels of grip on a dry roadsurface than conventional tires.

& WARNING Risk of accident due to thetire tread depth diminishing more quickly

Due to the tire compound, the tire treaddepth can diminish more quickly on thesetires than on customary tires.Driving at low temperatures of 50°F (10°C)and below, rain and bodies of water can leadto hydroplaning and, as a result, loss of con‐trol of the vehicle.# When the roads are wet and/or in low

temperatures, replace tires with suita‐ble tires in good time.

# In the case of sudden rain, driveextremely carefully and slowly, espe‐cially when the roads are wet or in lowtemperatures.

Operating fluidsFuel

Notes on fuel grades for Mercedes-AMG vehi‐clesObserve the notes on operating fluids in thevehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel couldresult in damage to the fuel system, theengine and the emission control system.# Only refuel with low-sulfur gasoline.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol byvolume. Your vehicle is suitable for use withE10 fuel.Never refuel with one of the following fuels:R DieselR Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol byvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with thewrong fuel:# do not switch the ignition on.# Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso‐line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.As a temporary measure, if the recommendedfuel is not available, you may also use unleadedregular gasoline. Octane number on the vehicleon the information label in the fuel filler flap (seethe vehicle Operator's Manual). Filling up withunleaded regular gasoline can reduce engineoutput and increase fuel consumption.Never refuel using gasoline with an even lowerRON.

* NOTE Premature engine wear throughunleaded regular gasoline

Impairment of the longevity and performanceof the engine.If unleaded premium grade gasoline isunavailable and you have to refuel usingunleaded regular gasoline:# Only fill the fuel tank to half full with

unleaded regular gasoline and refill assoon as possible with unleaded pre‐mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum designspeed.

# Avoid sudden acceleration and enginespeeds over 3000 rpm.
